Proverbs 15:8
New King James Version
8 (A)The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,
But the prayer of the upright is His delight.
Isaiah 66:3
New King James Version
3 “He(A) who kills a bull is as if he slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he (B)breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine’s blood;
He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol.
Just as they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
Jeremiah 6:20
New King James Version
20 (A)For what purpose to Me
Comes frankincense (B)from Sheba,
And (C)sweet cane from a far country?
(D)Your burnt offerings are not acceptable,
Nor your sacrifices sweet to Me.”
Amos 5:22
New King James Version
22 (A)Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings,
I will not accept them,
Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.
